The primary goal of this site is to provide mature, meaningful discussion about the Vancouver Canucks. However, we all need a break some time so this forum is basically for anything off-topic, off the wall, or to just get something off your chest! This forum is named after poster Creeper, who passed away in July of 2011 and was a long time member of the Canucks message board community.

I feel as I've been in prison this season and forced to [mod edit] chase butterflies [/mod edit]...

It seems to me (xxxxx too many?! ) that this is perchance because of the postings of geriatric hipster folk alternative rock and death by acoustics...basically the same damn sound from every gloomy meloncholy musician out there...

xxxxx music ain't so bad, once you get by the signal to noise ratio... sausage fest of one

Nothing - you can like and listen to whatever you want, Spidey - I don't give a shit what you enjoy listening to. Metric's not bad actually, but to each their own right? Or is that a concept that is lost you 'young' kids?

Young energetic rocker chicks, you say?

I just find it funny that the 'fogies (not necessarily you) think there is no good music these days and they couldn't be more wrong and they either start listening to retro rock, depressing alt folk rock crap that all sounds the same or county

There is more quantity out there but some real quality...

The new Fiona Apple is worth a pick up if you were ever a Kate Bush fan...

I have some great musical memories but I still create new ones...going to Montreal for a Francophone music festival to here the first NA performnce of Nouvelle Vague... there wasn't a guy there that night that didn't enjoy the performance from these French dishes...got punched by their women enjoying it a little too much and made their ladies happy later

You are right, to each their own, as long as that musical journey doesn't end...taking Spidey Jr. (a buding photographer/guitarist) to the Art Gallery of Ontario for a Patiy Smith photo exhibit, been feeding him with 70's punk and new wave sounds and stories for a week now...

Gotta agree with ya there Spidey, regarding the old fogies...there is tons and tons of good new music coming out that the old fogies would love but the problem is, you won't find these artists on mainstream radio or the grammies other than Bon Iver and the Black Keys and Band of Horses and a couple others I like. I thought the last Band of Horses sucked, but love there 3 previous albums. Can't stand this whole Mumford and Sons, Lumineers, Avett Brothers Pop/Folk thing going on right, extremely sugar coated and lightweight music for the pillow-biters. The Grammies and Starbucks got the whole hype machine going on these guys as trying to come across as cool music for old folks but it's not, it's fucking lame.

A few real good albums coming out this month Son Volt - Honky Tonk, Phosphorescent - Muchacho and Kurt Vile's - Waking on a Pretty Daze. I got the early leaks on these, should be some of my favorite listenings for 2013. Son Volt is Jay Farrar and Jay Farrar was the other leader in Uncle Tupelo, Jeff Tweedy's old band before he formed Wilco. Uncle Tupelo broke up in 1994, shit, can't believe it's been that long. They consider Uncle Tupelo the originators of the alt-country movement.

Surprised you ain't loving the new My Bloody Valentine album, first album by MBV in 22 years is it. Pretty awesome. If you thought Grizzly Bear was good you should check out the Local Natives - Hummingbird, very good album for a bunch of L.A. Hipsters.

I tried the new Fiona Apple. Doesn't work for me, she kinda never has.
